Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu s office
declined immediate com-
ment.
Israel and Egypt s land-
mark 1979 peace accord is
a pillar of stability between
the two nations and was
the first peace agreement
Israel signed with an Arab
state.
The deal granted Egypt
billions of dollars in US
military aid. But the threat
of slashing it has raised
concerns in Israel that its
alliance with Egypt could
be shaken and could even
prompt Egypt to retaliate
against Israel. Israel views
the aid as an integral part
of the peace accord.
Although diplomatic
relations have never been
close, Israel and Egypt s
militaries have had a good
working relationship.
These ties have only
strengthened since long-
time President Hosni
Mubarak was ousted in a
popular uprising two and
a half years ago.
With both armies bat-
tling extremist jihadi
groups in Egypt s Sinai
Peninsula, near the Israeli
border, Israeli security offi-
cials often insist that rela-
tions with their Egyptian
counterparts are stronger
than ever.
With so much aid at
stake however, some in
Israel are ringing alarm
bells.
Opposition lawmaker
Nachman Shai, a member
of parliament s foreign
affairs and defence com-
mittee, said the US deci-
sion was "counterproduc-
tive" and risked having the
"opposite outcome" of
what was intended.
"Currently, the military
government in Egypt is
fighting fiercely terror
within the country and in
the Sinai and any military
and political assistance is
extremely important to
support them in this bat-
tle," he said.
While he said it is not
Israel s business to tell the
US what to do, he added:
"What we care for is a
strong government in
Egypt that may block any
terror from the Sinai."
US officials have said
the cuts would not affect
spare parts and other
assistance for counterter-
rorism in the Sinai.
But Egypt could take its
frustrations over the US
move out on Israel, said
Eli Shaked, a former Israeli
ambassador to Egypt.
In protest, the Egyptian
military might limit its
cooperation with the
Israelis, which in turn
would hamper Israel s
efforts to fight militants in
the restive Sinai, he said.
"There is much anger.
Therefore it may affect
badly on the direct ties"
between Israel and Egypt,
Shaked said.
"They (Egyptians) are
likely to punish Israel along
with the US."
Shaked added that Israel
largely sees the "punitive"
aid cutoff as a mistake that
will weaken America s
influence in a volatile Mid-
dle East and harm the
strategic alliance between
Egypt, the US and Israel.
Amos Yadlin, a former
head of Israel s military
intelligence, said the peace
accord with Egypt is stable
and predicted it will
remain so despite the deci-
sion.
"The peace treaty does
not hinge on American
aid. The peace treaty is a
very deep Egyptian inter-
est," Yadlin told Israel
Radio.
"They have no interest
for Israel to be against
them." (AP)

JERUSALEM---Israel
hopes the US decision to
cut aid to Egypt will not
affect the two countries
historic peace deal, a
Cabinet minister said
yesterday, insisting that
Israeli-Egyptian ties
remain as close as ever.
Gilad Erdan, the min-
ister responsible for civil
defence, said Israel and
Egypt are continuing to
co-operate in military and
political spheres and that
there is "constant contact"
between the two coun-
tries.
The minister spoke just
hours after the United
States announced it was
cutting hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in aid to
Egypt in response to the
Egyptian military s ouster
last summer of the
nation s first freely elected
president and a subse-
quent crackdown on pro-
testers.
While Erdan told Israel
Army Radio that Israel has
been "disturbed" by the
threat of a US aid cutoff,
he said he hopes there
would be no ramifications
to the Mideast peace
accord.
"I hope this decision by
the United States will not
have an effect and won t
be interpreted as some-
thing that should have an
effect" on the treaty, he
said.
BUENOS AIRES---A
computer scan of the
Argentine president s
brain shows "satisfacto-
ry" results from surgery
to remove a blood clot
from inside her skull.
Yesterday s update
from President Cristina
Fernandez s doctors also
says that her vital signs
are normal.
The doctors say she ll
remain in intensive care
for now, and no details
have been released about
how quickly she can get
back to work.
Vice president Amado
Boudou is nominally in
charge of the government.
Boudou cancelled an
appearance Wednesday
and travelled yesterday to
Catamarca province, 700
miles (1,153 kilometres)
from the capital, after
Cabinet chief Juan
Manuel Abal Medina told
a radio interviewer that
"the only one who has
the power is the presi-
dent." (AP)
